My co-workers held an baby shower for my 2nd son after he was born- it was well-received and we all had a good time...my 3rd came along 8 years later- a girl- and I was at a new workplace/new group of friends, so I was given a shower before she was born.<br />I for one like the idea of a &quot;Welcome Baby&quot; party more than a baby shower before the baby&#39;s born, but maybe that&#39;s just me.Jane Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00354392330906972598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-33584620284100792792014-07-16T08:45:18.954-05:002014-07-16T08:45:18.954-05:00Free booze?!?!
